I'm right there with you.

I don't know if this is just a normal part of aging or it has to do with the fact that what used to be purely a sporting event is now a drawn-out pop culture spectacle. I hate that. I want to watch a Met game or an SU game (maybe with a college pep band or, in the case of baseball, some background organ clips) and only that; I don't want to hear canned pop music, I don't want some boozed up turb who stinks of cologne and tobacco climbing over me three times to get a tray of Bud Lights, I don't want to watch commercials, I absolutely don't want to see some amped-up kid hyping promotions, and I want to hear the voice of the PA guy as little as possible (unless, of course, he's conducting a "where does Joe Girard's free throw percentage rank nationally?" trivia contest...then common sense would dictate that he should most definitely use three more words to tell us what the kid's free throw percentage is, FFS).

Now get off my lawn.

But seriously, all those things, plus the length of contest, make me enjoy going to games much less than ever before.
